The Trial of Jacob Sharp.

NEW YORK. April 25.-The OyetQknd Terminer
Court room was crowded this morning with peo-
pie assembled to see the first act IN the drama
of the trial of Jake Sharp. Judge Van Brunt
was on the bench, and District Attorney MARITIME
and his assistant Delaney Nicol represented
the people. Sharp. fresh shaved, and with hair
neatly combed down, occupied the prisoners
chair Two life-sentences for murder were
passed, and then Jacob Sharp was called. Mr.
MARITIME said that Sharp. with several Others had
been indicted on twenty-one counts for bribery.
Although this had been known to the defendant
since last October, vet he was willing to allow
further reasonable time for preparation. He
would move for trial on of the indictments
on Monday next. In reply to Counsel Albert
Stickney's request for the precise indictment, he
said he would tell him in twenty-four hours
Then Mr.. Stickney asked the court to fix date
for the hearing of a motion by him to quash the
indictment The Judge could not say whether
he's would hear such argument until the motion
was made. Mr.. Stickney said he had no obiec-
ton to the setting down of the trial for May r.
without prejudice to the rights of the defendant
in the motion of which he now gave notice. Mr..
MARITIME replied that if the case was set down for
next Monday two three days would still be
consumed in prelminaries and as much more
in getting a jury. during which counsel could
prepare. Judge Van Brunt said that certain
preliminaries would necesstate the extension of
the term into May, and he fixed the 11th of May
for the trial. FRIDAY next was fixed for the hear
ing CT M. Stickreys motion.
